Saturday 10 November, to Belmar Hotel

The coati came right up to our car
We had an early breakfast at Lomas del Volcan. The service wasn't very good and the coffee not hot. We left to drive to the Belmar Hotel at Monteverde, a tricky place to locate. The road took us across the Arenal dam and alongside the lake, with good views. We saw a coati approach the car, and three vultures in the road. However, past Tiluran, the road deteriorated. We still had 32km. to reach our destination. Another nice room with forest view, and the shower is in the window overlooking the trees!

A room with a view - hope the birds enjoy it!
There's a wedding party on here today so we have to go out for dinner, if we can face the bad road again. No TV so we did the crossword and updated my blog. The room is quite cool and it's windy. Not quite what we expected in Costa Rica!


We drove down the 'road' to the Chimera restaurant which had good music and food. Ceviche again and chicken with almonds and chocolate sauce with green beans. We had a very windy night up there near the canopy.
